Logistics & Supply Chain Project

As a freshly cooked, frozen product it is critical that our furry-friend’s meals remain frozen throughout the distribution process. Currently servicing the Greater Toronto Area, we use insulated tote bags to keep our meals frozen (lasts about 3-4 hours). As we continue to grow and expand across Canada this becomes a larger challenge. We are looking for a team of students to focus on the following: Prepare a strategy on the best and most cost effective methods for us to expand our reach from 1 location to multiple, and eventually across Canada. Distribution methods to service multiple cities (e.g. one single distribution hub, multiple etc) Cost effective methods to keep our product frozen with box/insulation suppliers Prepare a list of cold chain logistics companies that also do co-packing that we could reach out to Pricing from manufacturing through to delivery to consumer (looking at the end to end supply chain process)
